How Germany Treats Spies.

The Paris Hatin gives its readers the
following information respecting the
treatment TO which persons arrested as
spies are subjected in Germany: Some
five or six years ago Belgian subject
was arrested in Germany on suspicion
of being a spy in the pay of the French
government No trustworthy evidence
against him was forthcoming, and the
charge was sustained merely by the tes-
timony of an entirely irresponsible in-
dividual. Nevertheless, the accused
was condemned to ten years imprison-
ment after having already suffered
eight months confinement on suspi-
cion. He has since been to all intents
and purposes as one dead to his family.
1t has only been with the greatest
difficulty that he has succeeded in OBJ
tanning permission from the authorities
to write few lines every quarter. In
this epistle. moreover, he is compelled,
under threats. to sing the praises of the
regime of which he is the innocent
victim. He has to herd with thieves
and assasslns, and, although suffering
from a most painful physical illness. is
on no account permitted to see physi.
clan. The Belgian government has, it
is said. repeatedly made efforts to OBJ
tain. if not the release. at all events the
better treatment of this unhappy man;
but in vain"

Polite Diction in Rochester.

Despite the most careful training on
the part of parents and teachers the
boys and girls of the present day. and
especially the former. persist in using
forcible expressions. Yesterday lady
and her young son were seated in a
street car near the Four Corners The
lad was the pink of propriety, and to
all appearances. he would ns soon have
thought of eating pie with knife as
using slang. He wore fashionable
suit and held tennis racket in his
neatly gloyed hand. His fond mother
was speaking in an undertone to a
friend of the remarkable docility and
polteness of her son and especially of
his training so far as the street vernacu-
lar was concerned. Said she: 'Chawles
would not deviate from the cowwect
fawm of expression undah any circum-
stawnces." just then newsboy polxed
his head through the car door and yell
ed: Paper only ? cents" The juve-
nile dude did not raise his eyes. but he
gave the intruder a vicious poke with
the racket all the same. The gamin
burst out with Cheese that. or I'll give
you smack in the puss." ''oh. rats. "
said the pink of proprIety. '.you amt
big enough. Go soak your head and get
the bugs out )" The expression on the
face of the Mortified mother was study.
As soon as she could catch her breath
she gently observed: just wait till
get you home. young man. and I'll at
tend to your case. Rochester Post-EI-

A curious lawsuit is in progress in
small town in Saxony. A man caught
a rat. tied small bell round its neck.

that such rat would scare every other
rat out OF the house. The plan succeed

however, his neighbours family were
nearly frightened out of their wits by
hearing the mysterious sound of bell in
various parts of the house They came
to the conclusion that the house was
haunted. until the servant girl accident
ally heard of their neighbours doings,
who now is to be tined, if he loses the
suit, for creating nuisance.

The American Exposition Building in
London Is to be 210 feet wide and 1000
feet long. There are are to be several
smaller structures. including an art
gallery capable of holding 1000 pic
lures The main building will cover
five acres, and is to be constructed of
steel rails and corrugated iron. The
use of steel rails in structures of this
kind is new idea, but has received
the approval of eminent engineers. It
enables the builders to put up or take
down building SO constructed In q
very short time.

to write rs he talked. "Heavy gale, I
presume. and man fell from nloft, reef
ing the-a-main t'gallant sails?"
Regarding the speaker for brief mo-

proceeded to enlighten his ignorance.

suddenly breaking off in his eulogium
on his lost porker, as the sound Of a
suppressed giggle was heard to pro-
coed from directly overhead. Turning
his eyes upward as he thus spoke, and
catching glimpse of Tad's mirthful
face peering over the top of the cotton
bales, Captain Flagg's fingers insensi-
bly, relaxed their hold upon the
japanned tin case containing his papers
and money.
This was the moment for which Mr..
Jones had been watching! Whipping
the tin case from the Captains unre-
sisting grasp. he lodged round the pile
of cotton bales before Captain Jethro
could say Jack Robinson" or Polly re-
cover her breath to scream.
Now, despite his sudden, ill-timed
mirth, Tad had been sharply watching
the movements of the erratic Mr.. Jones,
whose purpose he had dimly suspected
from the first moment of his pretended
interview. And. as he snatched the
case, Tad, scrambling from his hiding
place with inconceivable rapidity, slid
down on the back side of the cotton
bales, just in time to confront the escap-
ing Jones.
Unlike the average boy-hero of fic-

resorting to device not unknown to

hilarity, he threw himself on all tours

Recent advices from London show
that Russian dairy products have made
theirappearance on the English market.
and that the prospects are favorable
for large and increasing trade in but
ter and cheese with Russia. There are
fine dairy sections in the Baltic pro-
vinces, heretofore neglected. which can
be turned to good account now that .
profitable foreign outlet is presented.
This supply may not affect the prices
much this season, but it is likely in
the near future. These facts go to
show that the interest of the American
dairymen lies in the judiciOus develop

directly in front of the flying feet Of tho
fraudulent felon!
Uttcrng a wild whoop of dismay. Mr..
Jones plunged with outstretched arms
over Tad's PROSTATE body and struck
the wharf with such startling sudden
ness that the tin case flew from his
fingers and was Immediately seized by
Tad, who had scrambled to his feet in
a twinkling, though only second or
two sooner than the active Jones HIM

speed POLITICALLY attributed to the
startled fawn. was quickly lost to sight
among the surrounding drays and ex-
press-wagOns.
Without his hat. and in very bewil-
dered frame Of mind, Captain JethrO
Flagg rolled heavily around the corner
of the pile of cotton bales. Following
him at suitable intervals came breath

"Mary Us" crew, including the chief
mate-all comprehended in the lengthy
person of Ephraim X. Small, otherwise
known as 'Eph."
Tad's honest face shone with pleas

box to Captain Flagg. and began brush
ing his dusty knees, while Polly Flagg
smiled her appreciation.

ing his big hand on Tad's shoulder, ''it's
nigh eight bells-come along and have
some dinner. Well talk over matters

An invitation of this sort-particu-

not to be refused, and Tad. recovering

insensibly told the most of his simple
story. after which Polly Flagg, with
parking eyes, related her morning adj

gravely shook hands with Tad across
the table, without speaking. Indeed.
he finished his dinner in like silence,
and, after pushing his chair back, sat

"My lad," suddenly said the Captain,

speaker. rising to fanciful heights. "is
it dead before the wind to whatever
port promises the best freights and big

sion of Captain Flagg's meaning. Tad,
conscious of slight choking in his
throat, replied sadly that he didn't
know-he had no mother, no friends,
no home, and it didn't matter much
where he went or what became of him.
Polly's eyes shone sympathetically, and
the Captains voice was quite husky
when. little later, he replied to Tad's
respondent answer.
